>> so when you watch the miss america pageant this week, they still show it on tv. yes, it is 2013. beauty pageants are probably here to stay. because as they say, a thing of beauty, much like a tattoo, is a joy forever on "the ridiculist." that does it for us. thanks for watching.

well, art you up early. good morning, i'm christie paull. >> i'm victor blackwell. 6:00 on the east coast. tragic start this morning. >> oh, my gosh. let me tell you about this breaking news coming out of southwest ohio. first of all, the greyhound bus. >> the greyhound bus with 52 people on board has crashed on interstate 75. the crash happened near the town of hamilton. i-75 is shut down around that crash site. >> we know at this point, investigators say the bus turned on to its roof. flipped all the way over. 33 people were transported to local hospitals. that's the latest number we're hearing. no fatalities are reported. of it's not clear what caused this crash. these are some of the first pictures we're getting. if it looking a little funky to you, you know what that is, that's a corn field. this thing went 30 yards into a corn fields.

>> no lights there. and these crews are trying to pull these people out and get them to four hospitals in area. went, we don't faknow what the crash was. we'll continue to follow the story. now you've heard the cliche, when it rains it pours, unfortunately, that's true for colorado. more rain to add to the misery of the people devastated by the massive floods. >> yeah, the raging waters flamed for four deaths. 170 people still unaccounted for this hour. >> national guard troops used helicopters and high-water trucking to evacuate more than 800 people there. a lot of people have gone days without water no running water. >> and president obama has declared three county, around bould boulder.

>> and it was a brief period of a break from rain that allowed these rescuers to get these people. nick valencia is in longmont, colorado, near boulder. i've been following your tweets online and watching your reports on air. this is getting worse and worse for the families. >> reporter: yeah, victor, and christi, residents are dealing with this in longmont where i'm standing. in neighboring boulder, residents there are very much so picking up the pieces. barb and her family share the story of a lot of those on the streets. but they say if it wasn't for their son, it could have been much worse. >> my son has autism, as a result of that has strange sleeping hours. he came in and said mom, dad, up in our master bedroom and he said, water's coming from the toilet. we just thought he overflowed

the toilet. >> reporter: you had no idea that was a torrential downpour outside? >> well, it rains places. you don't expect to have what we walked into. >> reporter: what they walked into was this, a mixture of sewage and water spewing from their bathroom. >> i felt like rose on "titanic," okay, because water kept rising. this is all mud. >> reporter: for ours, bossic and her family just rushed to save their family. >> i did lose my family slides from my parents who were deceased and my daughter is vying to salvage those. >> reporter: she's uncertain where to go from here. >> i alled usaid, they said, you know, you don't have flood

insurance. is this a flood? you know, is it just coming in from the toilet? something from the city? all i know is that, you know, i've got three kids living in this house. and i got, you know, this is all contamina contaminated. >> reporter: they say they haven't slept much since the storm and with another round of rain set for the weekend, they probably won't anytime soon. and victor and christi, to add insult to injury, the bossices had just moved into the house this summer. they had moved away from kansas where they say they were living in tornado alley. they convinced their children that colorado was safer only for something like this to happen. >> there was a collective ahh when is he saw that. nick valencia, keeping up with the flooding in boulder, colorado. thank you for that. also out of colorado, two women who tweeted that they were stranded on long's peek have

managed to hike to safety. flooding and heavy rain had kept rescue crews from reaching that couple. apparently they got stuck on snow and ice when they were hiking early thursday on 1300 feet. the women were not hurt, thankfully, but at risk for hypothermia. and to south to eddie, sierra and san miguel counties. hundreds have been evacuated by air and the roads and bridges completely in colorado washed out. to local local officials and the national guard as well to help. >> colorado and new mexico aren't the only states facing flooding. >> yeah, texas has its hands full, too. alexandra steele is here with more. they're just piling up and they need a break. >> yeah. and it's all part of the same

system, colorado, new mexico and southwest texas as well. one interesting point, inland flooding, the biggest weather-killer there is, more than tornadoes and hurricanes. and also the national weather service from colorado in their daily briefings called this biblical, the amount of rain, and you can see why. here's the water vapor aimch. where it's brown, that's dry air. and where you're seeing the bright color, the white, the pinks and the purples, that's where there's the most moisture. the problem is, here the scenario, what we've got is the jet stream going all the way like this, well elevated to the north. and under the jet stream is an area of low pressure but it's a cutoff low. but it has nothing to push it out. usually with wet weather, a jet stream moves these highs and lows. but the problem, we've seen a lot more of this with the changing climate in the last couple of years, this independent cutoff low has nothing to move it. it's been sitting, ensconced the

same area, jumping up of this rain. but finally, we will see a pattern change. so the worst is over for the areas, but still in the next two days we will see more scattered rain showers. when the ground like this is so saturated even when you've got an inch of rain or half an inch of rain, you'll automatically see an inch of flooding. in boulder, colorado, just the last couple of days, 11 1/2 inches on average for the month of september, 1.6 inches. so they certainly don't see this rain. 6 inches, fast-moving water will knock a person off their feet. 6 inches also reaches the bottom of your car, can move your car and food your car. 18 inches can lift an suv, two feet of rushing water can push an suv downstream. water is so incredibly powerful. and that's what we're seeing. big pictures around the country, more scattered storms.

in the northeast, a whole different perspective, clear skies, but 20 degrees colder. cooler air feeling this morning, you're walking out, taste of fall, even in the southeast, we'll take it here. >> alexandra steele, thank you so much. >> sure. well, now, on to the crisis in syria. thanks to an open microphone, we now know that the u.n. wednesday inspects are set to present their formal report, everybody's been waiting for this on syria on monday morning. >> the thing is, in these comments that he thought were private, u.n. chair ban ki-moon believes it will show overwhelming that chemical weapons were used. and he also said that syria's leader has conducted many crimes against humanity. and extended now into a

third day, we're expecting remarks from secretary of state john kerry and his russian counterpart anytime now. >> a senior state department official says, in fact, if there wasn't an opening, kerry wouldn't still be at the table. >> i will say on behalf of the united states, that president obama is deeply committed to a negotiated solution with respect to syria. . and we know that russia is likewise. >> we know that secretary of state john kerry and the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov are speaking now. cnn's international correspondent matthew chance is in egypt now. matthew, do we know which issues have been resolved and which are still the sticking points? >> reporter: well, as you mentioned secretary of state kerry and sergey lavrov are giving a briefing, what they've agreed upon in the extensive

days of talks here in the city of geneva. the big road block all along throughout this was the threat of the united states to carry out air strikes, carry out military intervention in syria if it didn't comply with the chemical weapons. that has now been taken off of the table that essentially opened the way for a broader sort of agreements on the technical aspects. very complex, how to get so many commonwealth of pennsylvanias controlled by bashar al assad into the control of the international community, as ultimately decommission them. again, that was the biggest obstacle. other obstacles as well they've been discussing. you'll have to listen to what they have to say to get a picture of what actually has been resolved. >> matthew, i know secretary kerry plans to travel to israel tomorrow. do were no what this plan is? >> reporter: this is for the most part, related to his efforts to restart the israeli-palestinian peace

process that starts last month. and the announcement that israel will build more homes in its various settlements in the west bank. they're discussing that first and foremost. but clearly, syria is another point on the agenda. the outcome of talks here in egypt, ben bernanke, the really prime minister, will be very keen to hear from john kerry about what was discussed, what was agreed. because they have their own security concerns. they're goring to be listening intently what's been discussed and agreed between the russians and the united states. >> matthew, thank you very much. we appreciate it. well, senator john mccain hot under the collar under vladimir putins op-ed in "the new york times." putin took some not so subtle digs, let's just say of the u.s. and now mccain may get a chance to respond. the russian paper has promised

that's moisture in the air. this moisture feed coming up from new mexico to colorado. a few residence why this has been so historic, when you see the "h"s and "l"s on the map, this san area of low pressure. the jet stream you see way to the north here. it's allowing the temperatures will be warm but also allowing this low to be cut off. kind of like you're pushing someone, you can push someone in front of you because there's nothing to push this. that's the problem. so it's acting on its own and it's independent so it's not moving anywhere. so finally, we're going to see this area of low pressure to move. just an inundation of moisture. and when you see the pictures you see the topography, of course, in colorado and new mexico and it's moutonous. we all that orographic lifting. you can see all the water drains out. that's what happens. all the water comes out because

because the air is lifted and squeezed out with all the moisture. so there will be some relief. we've seen 11 to 15 inches but even a few more inches in this area, the ground is so saturated that the flooding will continue. broadcast for boulder rain today and tomorrow, they've seen 11 inches thus far. on average for the month of september they only see 1.6. look at this, reports even more than that so you get the perspective really how dramatic this is. other than colorado, there's what's happening there. the northwest is dry. but it's the northeast. a cold front moved through. temperatures were in the 90s last week. 20 degrees cooler today. and a cold start if you're walking out the door this morning. cooler than what we've seen, guys. >> alexandra steele, thank you so much. we appreciate it. >> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. and this is just minutes old. just into cnn, secretary of state john kerry announced the

would be used as a delaying tactic. this whole process of disarmament, would be used as a delaying tactic by syria to buy itself time. they brought forward the time line. usually it's about 30 days, for instance that a country has to declare its stockpiles. that's been reduced down to a week. they've also said, called upon all parties in syria, but particularly the government said john kerry that syria provide immediate and unfettered access. that has about verified by international inspectors, u.n. inspectors where we're going to see those inspectors, according to this announcement on the ground in syria no later than november. they've also adopted extraordinary measures, normally, this is a complex and technical task of getting rid of chemical weapons can take notup many months but many years. and they've brought that forward. they say they reserve the right to take chemical weapons out of the country of syria to be

destroyed elsewhere, if they deemed that necessary to do. now, of course, there is the issue of consequences. that was the big road block all alon alon along. whether there would be any consequences for syria's noncompliance. it would be up to the security council to debate what consequences. let's take a listen now to what john kerry had to say speaking to reporters here in geneva. >> we have reached a shared assessment of the amount and type of chemical weapons possessed by the assad regime. and we are committed to the rapid assumption of control by the international community. of those weapons. >> there you are. so that was john kerry there saying that some agreement has been made with russia. they don't always see eye to eye, of course, russia and the

that's just west of where i'm standing here in longmont. as you mentioned a substantial situation for first responders trying to access the mountain side hamlets. roads are impassible for the first responders so they had to take out 152 people by air. we understand there are ongoing evacuations in lions, another mountainside hamlet that's been made nice in the past couple of days from being completely cut off from the rest of the world. the national guard had to burrow their way through here. here in longmont. 7,000 people evacuated. homes completely demolished and destroyed. 2,000 people still without power. the national weather service tells us there'scy flood warning in effect for where i'm standing. just off to the side of me here is the stant brain river.

. >> we're asking people to avoid driving in boulder. avoid being out in areas where waters are rising. >> reporter: so the concern really is that rain. that rain that will come throughout the afternoon and possibly into the night. we had very little rain that created a direct impact on boulder county. that's the hardest of the four counties that have been affected by the flooding but that's not really helping the anxiety of the residents that have dealt with the flooding. >> nick, to clarify, you said 162 people were rescued were those pat of the 170-plus unaccounted for still this morning? >> reporter: that's unclear. that's 172 just to give some context, to our viewers, that 172, it's a very large number. but officials do tell us they expect that number possibly to go down. as cell phone towers are restored. and people get their power back. it could very well be that these

residents just can't get in touch with their loved ones at this hour. >> nick valencia, thank you so much. we're keeping you up to date on what's going on there. stay safe to you and the crew, too. >> there's flooding in new mexico. the waters in three counties has forward the governor to declare a state of emergency in eddie, sierra and san miguel counties. hundreds of people have been moved from their homes. they've been plucked out by air and ground crews and after bridges were washed throughout. the governor's order provides stant funds for local officials and the national guard to help as well. >> you know where else they're wrestling with floods is texas. they already forced at least one national park to close for visitors there. alexandra steele is here. when's the break coming? >> the worst is over for the most part in terms of the amount of rain, but we still are going to see some. you mentioned colorado and also

new mexico. let me take you farther east to texas to guadalupe mountain national park where we've seen such an inundation of flooding as well. you see the pictures here. the swollen rivers. it only takes six inches of water to sweep you off your feet. the national weather service talked about this as being biblical. it is historic. we've never seen some of these water leveling quite so high. this is the water vapor satellite. this is what meteorologists use kind of to look at the atmosphere. we don't usually show you but it's illustrative in one point. you see where it's brown. that's where it's very dry air. but look where the bright white colors and the purple. those are the high cloud tops. where there's the most moisture in the atmosphere. so synoptically, where you see the "h"s and "l"s on the map,

the areas of high and low pressures. they usual move each other forward. but in this case, this low is cut off, the last couple of years with kind of the changing climate, we've seen a lot of that cut jouoff low. because the jet stream that would move this is well to the north so it's now pushing it out of the way. finally, we'll see a little bit of movement. it's going to move to the north and east. so the worst of it is over in terms of amount of saturation and inches of flooding. we've seen a foot of flooding. and scattered storms in the forecast. no wonder why there's flooding. in boulder and 1.6 inches of rain average for the month of september. so the flooding has been incredible. and the pattern weatherwise has allowed for this but it going to improve. >> that's the good news. clear skies on the way. we've been look at pictures of the horrific fire in new

>> the world will now expect the assad regime to live up to its public commitments. and as i said at the outset of these negotiations, there can be no games. no room for avoidance. or anything less than full compliance by the assad regime. >> let's bring in cnn chief national security correspondent jim sciutto. he's in geneva. you were in the room for these remarks. tell us what you witnessed. what happened there? >> well, christi and victor, this is a fairly dramatic agreement. remember, just a few days ago, a diplomatic solution wasn't even on the table. then somewhat of a surprise on tuesday, kerry mentions the words in public. before you know it, here in geneva about syria. and then an agreement. in the lead-in, you mentioned syria's going to have to submit a full accounting within one week of chemical weapons.

they asked for 30 days. secretary of state john kerry said that's too long. the aim is to have you all the chemical weapons either collected or destroyed inside or outside the country by the middle of next year. so a fairly dramatic move forward after a short amount of time and difficult talks here in geneva. >> all right, jim, what else has to happen for the syria to avoid a military force? >> this is a difficult point here. they've come to somewhat of a fudge of military force. it will be dealt with chapter 7 resolution at the u.n. chapter 7 is key because among that is military action. however, they have not agreed here in geneva that military action will follow noncompliance by syria. just they will debate that option if and when syria fails to comply. secretary kerry said just a short time ago, they can't make

an agreement now for circumstances that they don't even know yet. so there is agreement that noncompliance will be taken care of under chapter 7. but what the remedy is, he says, is still not allowed to be decided. that allows secretary of state john kerry to say shortly after he said that president obama reserves the rights for military action. and it allows foreign minister lavrov that we do not support military action and he used the word that would be catastrophic. >> our international security correspondence jim sciutto. thank you for joining from us geneva. still to come on "new day," 150 cases of measles popping up in the u.s. >> why experts say this year could be the worst for the contagious disease in nearly two decades. she's always had a playful side.

here. >> christi, as a starting point, 159 cases may not sound like a lot. keep in mind, back in 2000, we thought we eradicated measles, essentially stopped the transmission of measles. since 2000, you've had 50 or 60 cases a year. if it keeps on par, this is the worst measles case in two decades. again, this is sort of heading in the wrong direction. also keep in mind, the vast majority of people that we're talking about who are getting the infezs are people who have not been vaccinated. we know that the number of people who aren't getting vaccines is increasing as well. these numbers could be getting worse and i think that's the real concern. we know that a child that's exposed to measles who has not been vaccinated it's almost a sure chance they're going to get measles. it's that contagious. the concern is not only for people in these communities but

people who start to live outside of these communities extended family. while we're seeing the vast majority of people still located in these cluster, could it spread any further? that's what people are trying to prevent. measles is potentially a deadly disease, one or two or three or so out of 1,000 people will die from it. people develop pneumonia and encephalitis. the news is not good on this front but a potentially addressable problem, christi. back to you. >> thank you very much. coming up, why investors should be smiling in september. but apparently not too widely. >> just a dimple of happiness. and apple stockholders they were not smiling after tuesday as you iphone announcement. we'll tell you how big a bite investors took out of that. this was the hardest decision i've ever had to make.

the bus was bound for detroit at the time. number three, firefighters are working to find the cause of a monster fire that destroyed dozens of businesses at the jersey shore. owners had just recovered from superstorm sandy in october. it took about 400 firefighters nine hours to get these flames under control on thursday. number four, that newlywed accused of pushing her husband off a cliff has been released on bond. she's now waiting for the murder charge to begin. the judge ruled graham is not a threat. rapper kanye west didn't like the paparazzi. he doesn't mind telling you that but now he could face jail after a scuffle with a photographer happened in los angeles international airport. police say west attacked that photographer after he tried to take pictures of the singer leaving the airport.

west who is set to kick off the tour next month could face at least six months in jail if he's convicted. >> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. all right. let's talk about syria and breaking news from geneva this morning. the u.s. and russia have reached an agreement after three days of talks. secretary of state john kerry says this groundbreaking deal gives syria one week to submit a complete inventory of its chemical weapons. now, if syria fails to comply, kerry says the threat of force will be included in a draft to the u.n. security council resolution. >> but this leaves a lot of people wondering how would the logistics play out. and how difficult to even track down all of syria's stockpiles. international security analyst jim walls is joining us. jim, thank you for being here. first of all, we want your response to what happened this morning and what is the likelihood that the assad regime is going to comply. >> first, this breaking news.

it's breath taking in three days that they've been able to hammer out an agreement. both sides gave something up, i think when you look at the fine print. russia wants a prohibition on any use of force, including this agreement. they wanted to say we'll have this council resolution but everyone has promised to not hit syria. well, they didn't get that. u.s. by contrast wanted a clause in the u.n. security resolution saying well, we get to use force, if they don't comply. and the u.n. didn't get that. so both things were taken off the table. and they got an agreementpy at the end of the day, if the u.s. wants to use force it can, whether it's in that final resolution or not. i think you have to square this as a victory for the obama administration. >> jim, let's talk about resources and what it will take to collect and destroy these chemical weapons. former chief u.s. weapons inspector in iraq, david kay, he estimates it could take close to 2,000 inspectors to disarm

syria's stockpiles. we've got a map put together. estimates 300 inspectors from the u.s., 500 from china and russia. first, is that enough people to do the job? second, are we anticipating that syria will say no one from the u.s., we're only trusting the russians and the chinese? >> you know, those are great questions. first, on the scope of the thing, you know, is it enough? we won't know until folks are on the ground. but it could easily be more than that. you know, there are dozens of facilities. there are manufacturing facilities. research facilities. places where they put the chemical weapons and make them into munition storage facilities. and, you know, for all of those places there are going to have to be inspectors, as well as people to guard the inspectors. remember, is this a civil war. so it's a huge task. huge administrative task that's going to take years. now, as to the composition of that, and what countries they're going to come, i can definitely

see syria octobering to the u.s. inspectors. first of all, they say we're funding the rebels and we want assad to leave so that would give them pause. but i just don't think it's russia and china. i don't think that's acceptable to the u.s. i think at the end of the day, it's the international agency, the opcw, that's in charge of the chemical weapons prohibition that's going to put the international team. and that's probably going to come from all over. >> all right. well people looking at this probably think, too, how do inspectors determine whether assad has handed over all those stockpiles? >> you know, it's a great question. what's the baseline, how do we know when we have everything? i think the answer is, we won't know. but the hope, i think there are two things going on here, one, if we take out a big chunk of it, that's a win. because, remember, the alternative was military action which i was in favor of, by the way. but the military action was not going to hit the chemical weapons themselves. we were afraid if we struck those with bombs that would

disperse the chemical into the air and kill a lot of civilians. so the original plan was to go after the military units associated with the chemical weapons. and go after the delivery systems but leave the agent aside. under this plan, we're actually going to try to remove the agent which is a big deal because that means neither the rebels nor the government will have. now, will we get it all? probably not. but we'll get more than we got during a military attack. and the other thing is with those inspectors on the ground. and with the u.n. security resolution approved, that should, you know, rein in assad from using them a second time. because if he does use them a second time, that's a clear violation both of treaty they just signed and the u.n. resolution, neither of which we had two weeks ago. so i share with you skepticism, whether we're going to get 100%. but i think if you weigh the options, this is probably a pretty good outcome. >> hey, jim, you bring up a good point, that if inspectors go in, there will be people who have to

protect them. will that mean u.s. boots on the ground? >> no, there's no way assad owe russia wants u.s. troops on the ground. and, frankly, we don't want u.s. troops on the ground. so there's going to have to be -- there are two possibilities here. either the iraqis provide troops to secure -- right. there are three things here. find, secure, destroy. it's going to take forever to destroy the stuff so it has to be secured. so that requires troops to guard the facilities and protect the inspect inspectors. they may be iraqi troops but that doesn't sound very good. i think there somebody some mix of syrian and international folks that go in to protect them but not u.s. people. >> tim walsh, thank you very much. >> thank you, good morning. >> good morning to you, too. thank you for being here, jim. we appreciate it. coming up on "new day," two big hollywood revelations, first of all, lady gaga is opening up

within the u.n. security council. ultimately, perhaps more so than anywhere in the world, actions will matter more than words. in a case of the assad regime, president reagan's old adage of trust, but verify, that is the need of an update and we have committed here to a standard that says verify and verify. >> cnn chief national correspondent jim scuito is here with us. jim, there are a lot of people across the country that there could have been agreement on anything. that is one element. what else is this deal? >> reporter: this is a fairly dramatic development just that the beginning of the week, a solution was not on the table.

we were talking about military action against syria. let's talk about the plan. one, you mentioned that president bashar al assad will have to give a full handing of his weapons within one week. second, u.n. inspectors will have to have access to the site immediately and have all of the chemical weapons destroyed by the middle of next year. this is key. now they have specified there will be consequences for non compliance, but they have not specified what the consequences will be. you mentioned this is a chapter seven resolution. under a chapter seven resolution, the possibility of the use of force, but secretary kerry and his staff made it clear it will be debated down the line. at some point if bashar al assad is not compliant, they have to decide if that is something they

want to pursue. >> jim scuitto, thank you very much. >> let's go to the reaction to the announcement. m mumm mummhad, what have you learned about the security in the country? >> reporter: as far as the rebel free syrian army goes, we have not heard of any cease-fire. we are hearing a lot of skepticism. the head of the syrian army is saying that he doesn't believe that the assad regime will adhere to these terms. we heard this rhetoric before, especially while minister lavrov and secretary kerry were meeting

in geneva. we don't know if they will spec to any agreement with the international community. they see this as a employ by bashar al assad to buy more time to play with the inter national community and not signing on to the dotted line when it comes to the agreement to come under control of the international community. a lot of skepticism in the region. really it will depend on the days and weeks to what syria does. the rebels say they don't believe any of it. victor. >> what is the reaction of people there of the u.s. in this agreement between the u.s. and russia that a lot of people would certainly never thought would come. >> reporter: reaction really still trickling in about this. i can tell you in the last several days that these diplomatic moves that are under way. the people i speak with here, especially in a city like beirut which is an hour's drive from

damascus. they are pessimistic about the forge in syria. it is great these countries want to do something, but every type of effort has ended in deadlock in the past two and a half years. they say why is chemical weapons a red line? why wasn't it a red line that 100,000 people have been killed in syria so far? they would like to see an end to the killing and civil war and brutality. they don't believe the u.s. or russia can really do anything to make a practical impact on the ground in syria. >> all right. mohammed jamjoom, thank you. >> we will get with jill in a few minutes to get her reaction. let's get more analysis on the situation. >> and check the picture from moscow. let's talk about the weather. it is a big story in the u.s.

more rain in northern colorado. they have been dealing with the misery of floods. thousands of people have been devastated. homes destroyed and four people killed. >> the flood warning is still in effect for the entire denver area now north to ft. collins. we know more storms are predicted over the weekend. the pictures you are seeing is what they have been dealing within the last 24 hours. the waters are to blame for the four deaths, but there are 170 people who are still not accounted for. >> to towns have been cut off by the swollen waterways. debris passing through in the water. national guard troops got a bit of a break to use helicopters and high water trucks to evacuate some homes. they got 800 people out of there. a lot of people have gone days without power and no running water. thousands more have heeded the calls to get out on their own. >> we should say president obama declared an emergency for three counties around boulder.

that is allowing fema to employ the rescue. >> that has helped rescuers to get residents out of their home. it is giving them a tally of losses. >> we have nirck valencia with more. >> reporter: the waters have receded a bit. overnight, there was very little rain that affected boulder county. that drama is still ongoing. i got off the phone with the boulder county of emergency management. christi, you said 170 people were unaccounted for. we learned that number has risen to 218 people unaccounted for. that is just in boulder county. lyons or jamestown.

we should caution that while i had that conversation with the press information officer, he says that number is expected to go down as the office of emergency management sends out rescue teams. ongoing evacuation, just last night, 162 people in james downtodowtown, west of boulder, were impassable. the roads were impassable. these first responders are dealing with difficult situations. one of the survivors of the storm talked about how difficult it was to experience the flooding. >> i had to pray. i had to sing to god i want to survive. >> reporter: there is more rain in the forecast for the weekend. the afternoon is expected to bring some showers as well as overnight. the area where we're standing right now, victor and christi.

it is still under a flood warning for parts of denver and ft. collins and this area in longmont. >> nick valencia is covering the biblical floods. 160 people rescued overnight. we hoped that number was coming out of the 172 still missing. >> as you heard, it is up to 218 now. that may be because there is no cell phone service. once that stuff comes back into play, obviously they are hoping that number plummets. colorado is not the only place praying for relief. south in new mexico, they are having problems. flooding in three counties to force the governor with a state of emergency. evacuations in eddy and sao miguel counties. hundreds of people evacuated not just by ground, but air.

>> we have new mexico. we have colorado. texas is feeling the pain, too. alexandra steele is here with more. these communities in texas are dealing with something similar to what we are seeing in colorado or not as drastic? >> it is the same thing. synoptically, it is colorado and new mexico and texas. here is why this is happening. we have an area of low pressure located here. it is a cutoff low. usually in the world of weather, we have highs and lows and we have a jet stream that kind of moves everything along. what we have seen in the last couple of years is the amplified jet stream and it is not connected to the lows. there is no steering currents with the low. it is just sitting there. adjacent to it is the high. counter around the low. all this moisture and you can see it here in the white and the bright cloud tops and the amount

of moisture that is available and lack of movement of the low. finally, we will see things improve because the area of low pressure finally begins to move. the problem is we won't see 14 inches again, but the ground is so saturated, that the 1 to 2 inches expected will cause flooding. here is a look at how much rain we have seen. in boulder, this is just in the last couple of days. over 14.5 inches. on average in september, they get 1.6. we have seen an incredible amount of rain. the perspective of rain, 6 inches of water can swipe you off your feet. that is the scenario there. we will talk more about weather around the country coming up and big cooldowns for a lot of us. >> alexandra steele, thank you. next, we have more of the breaking news on syria. a deal has been reached. we will take you live to moscow for reaction. you work.

their vision. >> their vision. foreign affairs correspondent jill daugherty is on the phone with us. jill, tell us how this is perceived in russia? there are the president's critics in the u.s. who believe when putin came into the deal and many ways, took charge and took the lead here, made the president look weak. are the president in moscow envisioning their president stronger and in control of the situation? how do they see it? >> reporter: well, i would say in general, yes, they probably are. after all, things were not looking very good at all for forcing syria to put its chemical weapons under international control until the russians really took up that idea and ran with it. so, in that sense, yes. i think the overall approach here and you are hearing it from the foreign minister lavrov is that they just want to move ahead as the united states as

quickly as possible and get rid of the problem of chemical weapons. hence, this really very quick success which is a groundbreaking deal, if it works out, to eliminate the chemical weapons. >> is it enough to scare the assad regime? they have this threat of consequences that's supposedly coming from both the u.s. and russia. is that enough, do you think, that there will be a likelihood that assad will say okay, come on in. let's take care of it? >> reporter: you know, so far it looks as if that is exactly what he is saying. let's look at the deal. they say that syria, within a week, that is much faster than usual, has to give a comprehensive list of chemical weapons. it already said it would according to the usual rules. both the u.s. and russia want that speeded up. then they have international inspectors on the ground no later than november.

eventually, they would destroy those chemical weapons. so far, syria is saying it would do it, but remember, what they were saying is we don't want anymore threats from the united states. the way russia and the united states were able to finesse that is we are taking a step at the united nations security council which is called chapter seven. chapter seven gives you a lot of different options. the most serious one would be to take military action but there are other options that you could include. at this point, they are kind of putting that into the gray zone and saying we're taking chapter seven, but it doesn't necessarily mean that they would take military action. although the united states still says that's not off the table. there's a bit of, you know, diplomatic maneuvering here, but it seems to be enough to get the

deal. >> jill daugherty calling in from moscow. thanks, jill. still to come, an invisible killer is invading the water supply. how it may have gotten there first of all and the warning from public health officials.

multiplying and make the water safe for all the purposes. the drinking water is really safe to drink. >> let me ask you about this warning because it is a bit confusing. you can drink it, but you cannot get it in your nose. people splash water on their face in the morning. they shouldn't do that. what about steam from a shower? i just want to say here. a school district there has shutdown the water fountains and closed the pools. is this danger more than just don't get it in your nose? >> for the amoeba, you can safely drink it. that's not a problem. if the water gets at the very top of the nose, you can see the flow of the brain is here. the ceiling of the nose is here. if the amoeba can get all the way up there, you have the nerve with which you smell goes

>> i'm victor blackwell. number one, a flood warning in effect for colorado. the raging flood waters are blamed for four deaths and more than 170 people, which nick valencia states, has increased. national guard with high trucks were able to take out more than 800 people from two towns. fema has launched the largest rescue in colorado history. and number two. after three days of talks in geneva, this morning, u.s. and russia agreed a few hours ago on a broad plan to get rid of syria's chemical weapons. secretary of state john kerry says this gives them a week to give up the weapons. the weapons would then be destroyed over the coming months. number three. talk about a cheap vacation.

united's mistake will give free fare tickets due to human error that led to selling tickets for $5. that covers the airport and security fees. the mistake lasted on its web site for two hours. it only applied to domestic flights. number four. 34 people were taken to a hospital after a greyhound bus flipped in southwestern ohio this morning. it happened near the town of hamilton. there were 52 people on board when it overturned. that bus route began in cincinnati and bound for detroit. five now, the newlywed bride accused of pushing her husband off the cliff is waking up at home. she has been released on bond and she awaits to stand trial for the death of her 25-year-old husband, cody johnson. some say she pushed johnson to his death eight days after their wedding. it was during an argument. if she is convicted, she could be sentenced to life in prison. we have been hearing this

word a lot. evacuation. particularly in colorado. when you hear evacuation, you grab your kids and get a couple of keepsakes and get in your car and drive away. >> it is not always quick and easy. the couple you are about to meet, they had one way to get out of lyons, colorado. that is by hiking two miles up a ridge. they did it with an eight month old baby. even then, the floods caught up with them. mandy smith and her husband join us from colorado. good to have you with us. first about the story when you decided to leave and what was it like hiking up the ridge with your 8-month-old? >> we actually do a lot of hiking. in the grand scheme of things of the last 48 hours, the hike was one of the easier parts of our journey. as you mentioned, it was when to leave and what to bring and

which route to take. >> when you first got word, walk us through the moment. did you know this is the only way out? >> we did. we live in a neighborhood that is only accessible by bridges via car. when those became compromised, one bridge completely blew out and the other was very much impassible. we started looking at other options. being avid hikers, we took to google maps and we made a plan with my brother and we made a decision what we felt was the best decision for our family. >> you make it to your brother's house. after the bridge blows and you have to hike up this ridge two miles and you get to your brother's house and then what happened? >> then we had just showered and eaten a meal and i hear my brother yell, mudslide. get out. get out.

get out. we grabbed the baby and we had two dogs and we ran to higher ground. it was terrifying. a huge surge of debris and mud and water broke free from above his house and rushed directly into his house and through his house. >> so what happened at that point? >> well, catherine and i were standing on higher ground outside. her brother and his roommate and another friend were kind of grabbing things from around the slide and house that they could save or we thought we needed to take quickly. i grabbed the dogs. catherine grabbed the baby. she went to look for neighbors who were home and luckily found this wonderful couple and family who grabbed the baby from her and welcomed us all in for the evening. >> you told us about catherine's

brother's house. what about your home? >> so far, based on the aerial footage i have found online, our home is dry and we are in much better shape than a lot of our neighbors and community members in lyons. a lot of people have really experienced a tragedy. a lot of homes are completely destroyed. businesses. it's very sad. we are very, very lucky to say so far we think we're okay. >> we have been fortunate enough to be in some contact with neighbors who have since gone into our house and secured the things that were there. unplugged our fridge and tried to make it so when we do go back, whenever we are able to, our house is in good shape. we are really grateful for all of them. >> are you still at the neighbor's house now? how is the baby doing and when do you expect to be able to go back? >> the baby is a rock star.

she slept through the two-mile hike. she didn't seem to be fazed. we are at mandy's mom's house in colorado. after the mudslide in boulder, we are eager to get out of town. we reached our capacity. >> and when do you think you will be able to go back? have you gotten word? >> we just heard bits and pieces from friends via text. we're not entirely sure how accurate everything is. we heard it may be up to a month before we are able to go back. >> up to a month? wow! >> there are no infrastructure. no roads. no utilities. we were watching fuel tanks float down the river before we left which is another reason we decided to leave. diesel fuel leaking on roads. it is a disaster zone. >> you left before the

evacuation. were there any local, maybe not the national resources, but local resources there helping people to get out? >> there are local resources there helping in every way they could. they put up senders at the high schools and neighbors getting together. unfortunately like catherine mentioned, our neighborhood was isolated by these bridges blowing out and flooding. unfortunately, there was no way out or in via roads. the local resources were doing the best they could with the resources they had. until yesterday, people weren't able to pass into our neighborhood. >> wow. >> such a tragedy. for so many people. catherine smith, mandy stefa stefanaski, you are safe and your baby is safe. she is a rock star. >> we are keeping you in our

thoughts. we are bringing you a look in the terrible floods as only cnn can. joining now by amy ford by the colorado department of transportation. amy, give us an idea of what you are seeing. we have seen roads washed out one after another. give us an idea of how the roads are this morning. are more roads being washed out? >> you know what we're seeing is the roads that were washed out remain that way. what we are also seeing is the flood waters move east. we have more closures. we do have significant damage to roadways and bridges and others. we will be out inspecting those today to make sure they are safe and passable for motorists. >> we are looking at video right now of the -- oh, my gosh -- frightening images of how fast and furious the water is traveling and how it ripped apart so many roads and bridges.

i'm curious, you say you will be out there. is there anything you can do to prevent some more roads and bridges from going under? >> you know, there really isn't. there are many roads and bridges. you are getting images of some that we have not been able to get back to assess the damage. the interesting part is we are also used to seeing the images of the moving water. we may be deceived as the weather clears up. it will get more intense tonight. the road that looks passable now, still may have damage on it. it may have damage underneath and on the base. that is the part where we will go in and look. we will not open roads up unless they are 100% safe. >> we know there are two towns cut off because the bridges are washed out. what can you do, if anything, to help the local people and national people get some help? >> well, i'm glad you mentioned

that. one of the things we were able to do at midnight is open a road to estes park. we do so for the residents to get relief and get out. also for emergency service providers to get in and out. there are checks to let people in and out of the area by the national guard. we are happy the crews worked long and hard to clear debris and get the roadways open. they will be out to make improvements and repairs on the road as we allow people to use them. we are doing our best to get out where we can. recognize there is such a breadth of impact right now that we are working hard for the next several days to make sure the roads are safe. >> you are doing important work, amy. amy ford of the colorado department of transportation. wishing you the best there and you stay safe and you are able to tackle this thing. thanks for being with us. >> thank you, christi and

dozens of shores along the jersey shore, the same place that recovered from last october's super storm sandy. the people standing and watching could do nothing. they traveled four blocks on the boardwalk, that fire did. we have margaret conley spoke with one man who is picking up the pieces again. >> reporter: seaside heights is built with the optimism that the pier is stronger than the storm. residents are in shock after they watch their businesses burn to ash. >> there was nothing i could do. >> reporter: chris dennis, owner of the amusement opened the boardwalk in 1992. he lost $40,000 in merchandise from super storm sandy. he will have to start from scratch to rebuild and estimates damages from the fire are another $30,000. seeing the damage up close for the first time since the fire, he says this time the damage

will take longer to repair. >> sandy wasn't bad. we were able to get back in business as soon as we had a boardwalk in front of us. the clean up wasn't nearly as bad. this, you look at my building right now, clearly it's going to be cleaned up a lot. there's nothing left except for a shell. it is not a whole shell. >> reporter: chris' stall was a few feet away where the firefighters built the trench to stop the fire from spreading. >> the fire was traveling underneath the boardwalk. >> it traveled under the boardwalk. they got it contained to a certain point, but once it was in my building, they could not get to the basement to put it out. it would be unsafe for them. >> reporter: what was in the basement? >> the plush merchandise and everything else. a lot of valuable stuff that was conducive for me to run my business. >> margaret conley joins us live

from seaside heights. the fire spread quickly across four blocks, but the firefighters were able to stop it from spreading. how were they able to do that? >> reporter: victor, the fire raged for nine hours. we're standing at the point where the firefighters had to dig a trench. they dug a trench using the boardwalk that was new, rebuilt from sandy. they had to use that to block the flames so they would not spread further. the businesses behind me, they are completely destroyed. the businesses in front of me, some of them will be open today. >> isn't that something? what a difference. margaret conley, thank you so much. we appreciate it. it looks like they have good weather and sunshine to deal with. >> they need it. you know, if you are like me, man did we miss the boat. did you get in on it? >> i did not get a call or text or twitter message. >> i wonder if you got in on the

now. bear sightings are not uncommon in tennessee. you do not expect to see a bear window shopping in downtown gatlinburg. this black bear caused a scene, you can see here, just going through downtown and running up and down main street. the people there understandably stunned by this. everybody has their cell phone out taking pictures and video. thankfully the bear made its way out of town. no one was hurt. i cannot believe they are getting so close to this bear. >> here i am thinking the bear is freaked out. i know -- not first. i did think about it. try not to look away from this. i know you are going what the heck is that? that, my friends, is the world's ugliest animal according to the ugly animal preservation society. there is such a thing. >> who joins that group? >> i don't know.

the chemical weapons. >> the world will expect the assad regime to live up to the public commitments. as i said at the outset of the negotiatio negotiations, there could be no games, no room for avoidance or anything less than full compliance by the assad regime. >> let's go to cnn analyst david kaye, former chief weapons inspector in iraq. i want to go to something that foreign minister lavrov said that he wants this to happen quickly and as practical as possible. how quickly can you get rid of what we understand is a huge stockpile of chemical weapons? >> not very quickly is the short answer. libya started to dismantle its weapons nine years ago. it is not yet complete. >> can you give us any sort of comparison to what we're looking at from libya to this?

we heard anything from what was it? 50 tons or 1,000 tons of chemical weapons in 50 different locations. >> that is one thing we're looking forward to in the declaration. the standard sort of guess is 1,000 tons, which is much larger than the libyan and more complex and has nerve agents which is sarin and other elements. the 50 locations strikes me as unusually large. before the outbreak of the trouble, it was estimated there were five locations that were pretty well known. we do know the syrians have moved weapons as the opposition has gained foot holds close to the five sites. we will have to see. the more sites, the longer it will take. >> do we believe the syrians will be continuing to move, as you say, they moved them out. the free syrian army says they moved them out to neighboring countries. do you believe in this week they

can move out more weapons if that is what they are doing? >> well, one would hope they would not. that they would live up to terms of the agreement. we have not seen details of the agreement. i don't know if the syrians have seen it. you want to stop in place. the only exception is if some of the sites are very near contested areas. you can monitor it by satellites and other means of movement. ideally, you don't want movement during this period. >> and that will make it tough because of the civil war there. it is not as though they are walking there with free rein that we know of. how likely do you think they will and once they do, who will go in there? is it an engineer that facilitates this? >> you are absolutely right. doing this in the context of a civil war with a considerable amount of force used on both sides makes it very difficult.

whether they will comply or not, you know, that is the $1 million question right now. one hopes the russians will assist and enforce that they will comply. who goes in? that is one reason it is november by the time the inspectors get there. it is hard to find the right people. first of all, the people have to be able to go in to chemical weapons storage areas and check the inventory the syrians provided against reality, ground truth. you need someone who understands chemical weapons production and disarmament. it will take time to assemble them. quite frankly, with my experience in iraq, some of the people will not want to go into a combat zone. >> david kay, thank you for walking us through. we appreciate your expertise today. >> happy to be with you. >> let's go to the site of the talks. cnn chief national correspondent jim scuitto.

jim, you were in the room for the remarks. there were people who were skeptical of the deal. outline what russia has agreed to. >> reporter: as you say, this is a very dramatic development considering a few days ago this was not a prospect of a peaceful resoluti resolution. a few headlines, one, the syrian government will have to declare a full chemical weapon stockpile by next week and allow complete and unfetered access. here is how the time line will work after that. first, they will complete these inspectiospections of site by n. second, they will destroy the production facilities for chemical weapons by november and complete elimination of all chemical weapon sites, et cetera, by the first half of next year. there are hard gateways to see how syria will comply.

>> what happens, then, jim, if the assad regime does not comply? >> reporter: here is where there is something of a fudge, the u.s. and russia have a strong disagreement of military force. russia does not want that on the table. minister lavrov says that would be catastrophic. there will be chapter seven consequences if syria does not comply along the way. one of the options under chapter seven is the use of force. it is not the only option. secretary kerry said he granted, if there is not compliance by syria, they have to go back to the united nations to debate next steps and measures, including force. if there is force with u.n. approval, they have to go back to the united nations security council and get everybody to agree on that. if they cannot do that,

secretary kerry said president obama has the right to act on his own. that is the best way they could come to resolution. >> jim scuitto live in geneva. thank you so much. the other thing we are watching today is the folks in colorado. thousands of people devastated by the massive flooding. pictures are astounding. >> a flood warning for the entire denver area to ft. collins. more storms are predicted all weekend. raging water already blamed for at least four deaths. more than 200 people still unaccounted for. >> in two towns cut off by swollen waterways, we know national guard troops used helicopters and high trucks to evacuate people. a lot of people have gone without water or power for days. thousands more heeded calls to get out. some are being told they are not

going to be able to return for a month. >> president obama has declared an emergency for three counties around boulder. that really allows fema to launch what is becoming the largest rescue deployment in colorado history. >> there was a brief break in the rain friday, yesterday, that helped crews to get to the stranded residents, but it gave the weary families to tally up their losses. >> we have nick valencia in longmont, colorado. close to boulder. the sun is coming up there. tell us what you are seeing on this new day of mysteis misery, people there, in longmont, unfortunate unfortunately. >> reporter: there is good news. where we are standing. this is the spot i was last hour. i was ankle deep in water. that is not the case. this water has receded a bit. it continues to do so as the morning developments.

longmont, a hard-hit area. 7,000 people evacuated. people still without water. that is the case for the mountain side. that has caused problems for the first responders trying to access. they have only been able to get to residents by air. 162 people were air lifted out of jamestown, west of boulder. ongoing evacuations. the mountain side areas have caused difficulty for the first responders. earlier, they spoke about the issues. >> we have lost several structures in the county. most of them have been residences on the side of mountains that collapsed or impacted by mudslides or their foundations being washed away. >> reporter: although the sun is

up and as i mentioned, the waters are receding, the anxiety has not faded among residents. they are anxious as they hear from local meteorologists and others that there is another round of rain expected this weekend and this afternoon and perhaps overnight. just the slightest bit of rain, victor and christi, could cause a very big problem for the residents. victor and christi. >> nick valencia there outside of boulder, colorado. we just spoke with a couple a few minutes ago who lived in lyon. they said the only way they could get out is hike up two miles up a ridge with their 8-month-old toddler. they were able to make it out. their home is still safe. >> here they are. >> we're hoping the 200 plus people unaccounted for and that phrase is chosen specifically, that they are just in places where they cannot make a phone call. >> right. right. obviously cell service is

interru interrupted. we hope it is just a lack of communication. that is a number that we're obviously going to be watching today. not only are we watching colorado, but new mexico is facing what some are saying catastrophic floods. there is a state of emergency. there are evacuations in eddy and sao miguel counties. the governor's order does provide some desperately needed state funds to local officials there. hoping that it will help them today. >> we covered colorado and new mexico. there is also texas. they know what the other states are going through. >> apparently it has its own natural disaster to deal with. let's bring in alexandra steele here. how severe is it in texas today, alexandria? >> you can see synoptically, it

is inundated with the aspect of the weather. here is the water vapor imagery. we use this as meteorologists to measure moisture in the air. synoptically it is set up so it's perfection for the moisture to sit in place and not move. here is the area of low pressure. normally areas of low pressure and high pressure get moved by the jet stream. the jet stream is so elevated to the north, this cut off low is acting independently. there is no movement to it. here is the low. here is the high. the air between it is just inundating this area with the moisture. the good news, the worst is over in terms of the amount of rain. area of low pressure finally now moving to the north and east. still, though, more scattered showers and storms and another 1 or 2 inches. when you see numbers that are this incredible. boulder, colorado, over 14.5 inches just in the last couple of days. on the average, they see 1.6 inches of rain for the entire

month of september. 6 inches of fast-moving water can knock you off your feet. 6 inches going to the bottom of the wheels and move a car. incredible amount of rain and water. you guys, people don't know, inland flooding is the number one weather killer in the u.s. >> all right. alexandra steele, thank you so much. still to come on "new day," we will put the syria deal in perspective. douglas brinkly weighs in on the deal reached in geneva. stay with us for that conversation. ♪ [ jen garner ] what skincare brand is so effective... so trusted... so clinically proven dermatologists recommend it twice as much as any other brand? neutrogena®. recommended by dermatologists 2 times more than any other brand. now that's beautiful. neutrogena®. ♪

standing by you from day one. now, that's progressive.

so glad to have you with us. fast moving developments we need to let you know about out of geneva. a few hours ago, the u.s. and russia agreed on a broad framework to get rid of syria chemical weapons.

>> the deal could very well head off a u.s. military strike. >> we have reached a shared assessment of the amount and type of chemical weapons possessed by the assad regime. we are committed to the rapid assumption of control by the international community of those weapons. >> let's talk about this development with douglas brinkley, professor of history at rice university. good to have you with us, professor. >> good morning. >> good morning. so there were skeptics not only here in the u.s., but around the world. they were skeptical there could be some deal between the u.s. and russia. what does this deal do for the president? >> it's a big leap for president barack obama. he found a way out, a temporary

way out of the box he was in. let's hope we get compliance that the weapons will be destroyed and the assad regime lives up to what they are promising right now. there are many issues we have to deal with with syria. we have a flood of people pouring out. millions getting in boats in the mediterranean and fleeing without parents. people going through turkey and egypt. it is still an international crisis zone, syria. we still have a problem of assad as dictator. he is massacring doctors and nurses and killing people. he is a thug. nevertheless, this is a great first step and president obama and secretary of state john kerry deserve some credit to get us this far without dropping bombs. >> let's look at this plan deeply. i know it calls for syria to come up with an inventory of the

chemical weapons in a week's time. if that doesn't happen, we know the united nations could consider the use of force. russia could veto that. you look at this at the end of the day and you say who won here? >> good question. i'm not sure anybody has won, per se. we must start thinking that perhaps it is in russia and assad's benefit to get rid of the chemical weapons. by assad being an open broker and saying here they are and doing this in an honest way, it may be able to stay on the power for decades to come. he will prove somebody you can do business with on the world's stage. for russia, they are worried about chemical weapons and islamic militants getting them and problems in chechnya. they have an olympics they want to host in russia. it is a big moment for them for the great world power.

there may be an interest in syria and russia to get rid of the chemical weapons. that's the hope. >> two years ago, president obama said that assad must go and now the president is agreeing through secretary kerry to working with russia to get these weapons out of assad. i don't see anything out of this deal that says assad must go. how will history look back on the comment by the president and what seems to be not an about face, but huge change in the approach. >> well, that is an important question. look, assad isn't going anytime soon. president obama's going to have to live with that quip just like he lived with the red line. you have to be careful what you put out there when you are president. this is a beginning of a process with geneva. a process trying to de-fang.

this is a step in the right direction. i said process five times. it is not a one-shot deal here. this something we have to monitor for a year or years or possibly a decade. many people feel the idea of tomahawk weapons and blowing up damascus and all the problems a war would have caused, this is a saner way to go. there was never any winning ticket here. we have a process that is positive and now we have done a little bit of trust and now is the verification process. >> the process. it all continues. douglas brinkley, professor at rice university. good to have you with us. >> thanks. still ahead, 1977 when nasa launched voyager in space.
